She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1124 - 913: Super Star 87 (Five Thousand) _2

Because of the popularity of this drama, Hua Yan didn’t go out to play during the long National Day holiday; one reason was that there were many people outside, and also because she was truly exhausted recently.

So she stayed home wearing a mask, doing author livestreams, yoga streaming, researching scripts, copywriting, creating songs, studying in space, and so on. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The interlude and ending song of "Heiress Strategy" were written, composed, and sung by her. It’s fair to say that study in the Third Space helped her significantly, because it included ancient vocal music lessons, which made her research into ancient music more thorough. She never knew she could sing emotional songs with such feeling.

If the opening song is a love song jointly sung by the male and female leads, then the song "Regret" is sung from the perspective of the Nanyang Prince Heir to Princess Xiyao. The entire song, paired with various dramatic, tragic, and painful scenes, seems to draw you in further to savor the tragic and regretful lives of these two.

It can be said that the scenes extracted from the opening song are as sweet as the ending song is sorrowful—completely different styles.

Many original fans of "Heiress Strategy" came to watch and said they were very satisfied. After all, it’s a TV series and couldn’t be as detailed as the novel, but most of the iconic scenes were retained. The TV version’s plot progressed quickly, with smooth transitions that were logical and well-structured, earning it a five-star rating.

However, some original fans came to nitpick, claiming things like the romantic development was too fast, unreasonable, crudely made, and ruined the classic. They could say anything, but not necessarily see everything.

Princess Xiyao, as favored by Hua Yan, also garnered audience sympathy. Especially with her strong immersive acting, viewers often found themselves with teary eyes unconsciously while watching.

"This is a drama worth savoring carefully. Hua Yan, the creator of Princess Xiyao, made me amazed. I got to know her from ’Youth Diary’ and became familiar with her in ’Heiress Strategy.’ This actress with spiritual energy has a promising future. Keep it up!"

"Although this drama ruined my ideal Shuanghua couple, I suspect the crew did it on purpose. In ’Youth Diary,’ they were so sweet, but in ’Heiress Strategy,’ they were heartbreaking, bringing me to tears countless times. This is a love-hate pair, and I feel for them. They’re both great actors—the man handsome and the woman beautiful. How wonderful it would be if they became a real-life couple?"

By the end of September, the sixty-episode drama had finished airing. Not only did Elephant TV receive substantial returns, but even TX Video, without specially recommending the drama out of friendship, suffered no losses. Instead, they earned quite a bit. From the premiere to the end of the drama, they amassed over forty million in a month. Although still in the red, they foresee recovering costs and making a profit in the next year.

Of course, these are just the overt aspects. The potential hidden income is that due to the drama’s popularity, the main actors received many offers for more dramas. During the winter break, Hua Yan also filmed two dramas "Nuannuan" and "Spirit Vein," which are set to be released consecutively, indicating her popularity will reach unprecedented heights.

The scripts reaching her hands are no longer just for TV dramas but even include movie scripts.

Her TV drama remuneration was initially just a few hundred thousand total, not per episode, but a packaged price. Now, with the drama’s success, she started charging one million per episode.

Well, Liang An isn’t mercenary, right?

The company raised all their actors’ fees, but not indiscriminately and excessively, but rather by evaluating their share ratio, current market share, future development direction, and potential. This ensures profits for both actors and the company, without being outrageous or unethical.

For someone like Hua Yan who earns one million per episode, the company plus Ling Yao has less than five people in this range, while others still work with package pricing.

It’s not that the company’s actors are cheap, but rather that Liang An wants to secure more opportunities for them with low prices. The actors also understand his good intentions, so they cooperate willingly. After all, the most popular Hua Yan only quotes a million, so how can they demand more than her?

Hua Yan is confident in gradually increasing her fees. The initial low price was also due to academic commitments, which didn’t allow her to devote more time to acting, making a million quite reasonable.

The release timings for "Nuannuan" and "Spirit Vein" are scheduled for the winter break, and she was informed of this in advance. When the time comes, she hopes to be there for promotion, and she did not refuse.
